Book Description
These essays may at first give the impression of being no more than hatchet jobs in which Thomas Carlyle, Benedetto Croce, T.S. Eliot, Martin Heidegger, Immanuel Kant, Bishop John A.T. Robinson, John Ruskin, Gilbert Ryle, A.N. WHitehead and others are taken to task for various linguistic imbecilities. In fact the author's purpose lies not so much in putting down the mighty from their seats as in dissecting some common types of worthless writing. The lessons he draws - founded on the theory of human thought and behaviour he propounded in his two earlier (posthumously published) books - have wider applications.

A Companion to Kant's Critique of Pure Reason
Author: Matthew C. Altman
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429982364
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Immanuel Kant's groundbreaking Critique of Pure Reason inaugurated a new way of understanding the world that continues to impact philosophy to the present day. With clear explanations and numerous examples, A Companion to Kant's Critique of Pure Reason takes students step by step through the book in a way that captures their interest without sacrificing depth or intellectual rigor. Although it is informed by recent Anglo-American scholarship, the Companion focuses on Kant's own arguments rather than secondary texts and scholarly debates that may otherwise distract from what Kant himself is attempting. The Companion first places the Critique in its historical and philosophical context before addressing the three main parts of the book in order: the Transcendental Aesthetic, the Transcendental Analytic, and the Transcendental Dialectic. The Companion also briefly explains how Kant continues his investigation into God, freedom, and immortality in the Critique of Practical Reason, and it concludes with an assessment of Kant's importance in the history of modern philosophy. Key features include a glossary of technical terms, with succinct definitions and cross-references, as well as an annotated bibliography of the most important English-language secondary sources on Kant's theoretical philosophy.

The Critique of Pure Reason
Author: Immanuel Kant
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781517666316
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 588
Book Description
The Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant, first published in 1781, second edition 1787, is one of the most influential works in the history of philosophy. Also referred to as Kant's "first critique," it was followed in 1788 by the Critique of Practical Reason and in 1790 by the Critique of Judgment. In the preface to the first edition Kant explains what he means by a critique of pure reason: "I do not mean by this a critique of books and systems, but of the faculty of reason in general, in respect of all knowledge after which it may strive independently of all experience." Before Kant, it was generally held that truths of reason must be analytic, meaning that what is stated in the predicate must already be present in the subject (for example, "An intelligent man is intelligent" or "An intelligent man is a man"). In either case, the judgment is analytic because it is ascertained by analyzing the subject. It was thought that all truths of reason, or necessary truths, are of this kind: that in all of them there is a predicate that is only part of the subject of which it is asserted. If this were so, attempting to deny anything that could be known a priori (for example, "An intelligent man is not intelligent" or "An intelligent man is not a man") would involve a contradiction. It was therefore thought that the law of contradiction is sufficient to establish all a priori knowledge.

Reading and Understanding Kant's Critique of Pure Reason
Author: Alberto Palazzi
Publisher: GogLiB
ISBN: 8897527639
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
There is no greater satisfaction than breaking the veil of age-old naivety with which we consider the things around us, and looking at the world again with the experience of having read the Critique of Pure Reason. But it is difficult: other people’s reports are not satisfying, and the meaning of Kant’s intense text cannot be grasped, because the philosopher, seeing things so differently from the usual, could not find a way to express himself that was adequate to the presuppositions of readers of the time to come. This guide, designed to be read not before, but together with Kant’s text, leads today’s readers to experience the immense pleasure of mastering the meaning of the great Enlightenment scholar’s most important work. A guide that can be read together with Kant’s text because it consists of short comments specifically referring to the paragraphs of the Critique of Pure Reason which need explanation, comments that translate Kant’s words into clear and familiar language for today’s readers. The instructions in this book first of all warn readers about Kant’s implicit presuppositions, which are the first source of difficulty, and then acknowledge those presuppositions of Kant that a twenty-first century reader cannot accept: so that we will be able to understand Kant standing humbly on his shoulders. The little we know from experience, what we would like to know, the things we conceive as ideal, after reading the Critique of Pure Reason appear in a completely different light: no longer as things that overwhelm us, but as ideas that we produce through elementary states of consciousness that are within us, and that determine the way in which we interpret the universe of perceptions that affect us. The explanatory texts of this guide accompany the reader in appropriating Kant’s book while the meaning of the great philosopher’s vision appears increasingly clear, and ultimately also simple, as profound thoughts are once the path that leads to understanding them has been walked with the due commitment.
